Romy grew up as a member of The Ark, a survivalist/hippie cult in North Wales. Now 21 and pregnant, Romy is one of handful of survivors, after more than 100 of her fellows died by poisoning. Luckily, her half-siblings Eden and Ilo have also survived, and are now living with her long-estranged aunt Sarah. But Romy has plans to reconnect with a second branch of The Ark, plans that require some truly horrific actions. Are Romy, Eden, and Ilo safer now than they were in The Ark? It's hard to say, though they certainly want to go back.
This is a creepy, and somewhat confusing story, which is understandable given the brainwashing the three siblings got growing up. Marwood does an excellent job of making sure the reader never gets too comfortable, always keeping us on edge. A good read if you're into cults and thrillers.
